It was an invitation-only, six-minute long rite-of-passage/presentation of the papers behind the hallowed courtroom doors where the highest judges in our land preside over the trickiest issues in our society. This was the resulting photo op:

Justice Ginsburg fell in her office last night, went home, tossed and turned, then took herself to the hospital this morning. She was admitted with three fractured ribs. Ouch. Those of us who appreciate the national treasure that is RGB stopped everything when we heard the news, got out the rosary beads/incense sticks/singing bowls/prayer shawls and sent our highest and best hopes for healing into the Realm of Mystery.

Those of you with less appreciation for the opinions of Justice Ginsburg, try to hide your ugly sides today. Stay off social media if you can't contain your snark. You'll regret those nasty comments. You will.

Let the woman heal. Which she will. (Fun fact: In 2012, Justice Ginsburg broke two ribs and didn't mention it for months. She never missed a day of court.)

Have the decency to wish this woman a speedy recovery. She's 85. She's worked hard for your country most of her life...the last 25 years on the Supreme Court. She wants to do it another 5 years. (#goals) Let's be compassionate humans for an hour or two today. Pretend it's your Gramma.Make America Kind Again, I say.

May the political vultures circle themselves into dizzy butter.
The day is coming when they will reap what they sow.

Godspeed Justice Ginsburg, from every kind person in America.
There are still plenty of us.
